Chapter 239 – Chapter 239 Hero Academy (3-46)
Two cloaked men were approaching me.
No matter how closely I tried, I couldn’t see the two cloaked faces.
Two people who seemed to be the same person at a distance showed a clear difference as soon as they came into my field of vision.
One person walked cautiously with a dignified step, while the other showed a strong sense of flirtation.
I quietly whispered to the person who showed me a dignified gait.
“Then, please take care of me.”
“I will do my best.”
“I’m just staying up all night, so what….”
As I laughed dejectedly, the two figures revealed their identities by pulling their cloaks behind their necks.
It was Lena and Beatrice.
After throwing her cloak behind her, Lena calmly opened her mouth.
“The nearby monsters have been cleaned up as much as possible. You’ll be fine on the way to the other tent.”
“Thank you.”
“Then why are you bothering me so much? Isn’t it just that you can go right away if you use that movement magic?”
The movement magic Beatrice was talking about was warp.
Beatrice had only used Warp when using the Demon King’s Castle, and she had doubts because she didn’t even know what the limitations of its function were.
“There is a limit on how much you can spend per day.”
“As if….”
“Okay then, guide me.”
“I got it.”
After putting on my cape, I headed to the tent where Oh Jin-ho and Park Hee-yeon were guided by Beatrice.
Following Beatrice, I touched the cloak she was wearing.
Even if you touch it roughly, you can tell at once that it is a poor fabric material.
‘This kind of trash material costs 10,000 energy per piece….’
[Instead, the ability is certain.]
It was the cloak of deterrence that the guys who broke into the consulate had been wearing before.
It’s not that they suck and use what they used, it was an item I had seen at the time, so I could make it with Enel.
The problem is that a large amount of money, 10,000 energy, was spent on each.
[In any world, the ability to hide your identity is very useful. It would be nice to raise it with temperament, but it will consume a lot of energy to level it up to the level of the cloak you currently have.]
‘And I haven’t met anyone with that kind of ability?’
I laughed inwardly and followed Beatrice.
I didn’t encounter any monsters on the way, probably because I wiped them out along the way.
And if I did meet him, I planned to avoid it as much as possible by stealth.
It was only after I went without resting for about an hour that I was able to find a bright light in the distance.
It wasn’t far from our tent in terms of distance, but it seemed like we were lost because we couldn’t locate each other.
When I arrived, two cadets were on watch.
I approached as quietly as possible by stealth, and whispered to Beatrice as I put the two cadets to sleep.
“Beatrice, keep an eye on me.”
“I got it.”
Lena says she’s taken care of all the monsters nearby, but she doesn’t know the world.
I checked the tent and checked where Oh Jin-ho and Park Hee-yeon were sleeping.
‘Even if it’s annoying, let’s go into both of them’ dreams.’
First of all, there was no need to go to sleep, so it seemed that there would be no shortage of mana.
‘First of all, Jinho Oh….’
First of all, I created a dream magic circle for Oh Jin-ho, who has anti-magic, and cast a dream.
..
..
“Is that true?”
“So, did you see me lying?”
Oh Jin-ho exchanged a conversation with a suspicious man in an enclosed room.
The two were sitting together at a table, and on the table was a marble the size of a candy.
Oh Jin-ho muttered as he gently touched her beads.
“An item that creates a gimmick….”
“It’s not just making the gimmick you want, it’s random. Of course, it can only be used inside the dungeon.”
“Where is it? He’s a big enough guy…. Are there any other conditions besides that?”
“It consumes a lot of mana. Well, it wouldn’t be a big problem if it was you, but….
“Randomness and large mana consumption. Therefore… How much is it?”
Oh Jin-ho raised her eyes and expressed her willingness to buy.
The suspicious man ran his hand through his beard and smiled as he raised the corners of his mouth.
“Hundred.”
“Fuck….”
First of all, the 100 the man said would not be one million won.
It would mean a unit with at least four more zeros added.
Oh Jin-ho touched her beads gently while she kept looking at her with her eyes that she didn’t want to give up.
The man muttered as he rubbed his chin.
“You know my personality, right? If you bargain, the deal is over. Because it’s you, are you giving it cheap?”
“Ha… Great. But is it really true?”
“You worry about everything. Did you see me cheating? Contact me if there is any problem”
The man laughed, handed the marble to Jinho Oh, and left the room.
After that, the place changed to the inside of the dungeon, and around Jinho Oh, Heeyeon Park, and the members who entered the dungeon earlier began to proceed with the dungeon.
Oh Jin-ho, who was walking quietly, took out the bead he had just received from his pocket and touched it, then started spraying his cadets with the gimmick.
However, whenever the gimmick exploded, Oh Jin-ho’s expression didn’t look all that good.
And at some point, as the interior of the dungeon shook with vibration, Jinho Oh muttered with a thin smile.
“Great….”
“….”
Immediately, I came out of Oh Jin-ho’s dream and went straight into Park Hee-yeon’s dream.
..
..
Park Hee-yeon made a voice mixed with annoyance while talking on the phone with her smart watch.
“Mom… Stop it. What am I missing, so look at the good with such a person.”
(Think about your age!)
“? I’m 28 now?”
(Now you’re in your thirties!)
“Ha… Why is age so important… I have no intention of showing up.”
After that, Park Hee-yeon had to listen to her enormously long nagging without interruption with her smart watch.
A voice mixed with questions entered Park Hee-yeon’s ears, who had been suffering from her nagging for a long time.
(Are you a man?)
“… I don’t know.”
(Yes!? Yes!)
“Ha… I don’t know. It’s not like that.”
Park Hee-yeon sighed and opened her mouth.
“Because I won’t see you for a moment. Hang up.”
(Hey! If you quit, you will die…)
Park Hee-yeon hung up her phone and immediately turned off her smart watch.
After that, the location changed from the room to the dungeon entrance.
After she left the dungeon with Jinho Oh, they started talking.
The contents of the conversation were complaints about me.
“I’m annoyed….”
“Don’t act too obvious.”
“But….”
“I will solve it. Just be patient for the time being.”
“Huh… Okay.”
Park Hee-yeon, who had put on her annoyed expression a moment ago, immediately smiled brightly and she followed him.
..
..
“Aww….”
When I came out after using two consecutive sleep dreams, what greeted me was the sound of Oh Jin-ho’s snoring.
‘It was because of this kid. Snoring baby….’
[What dream was it?]
‘That is….’
I explained everything in her dream to Armonia.
[Probably because of the randomness you mentioned, I kept triggering it.]
‘Once the culprit is caught….’
But what if I catch it, it’s not a church that will listen to me just because I’m telling you this anyway….
However, telling the consulate only made my situation difficult.
Rather, there was a high possibility that the church would press the consulate to fire me.
In my position to remain as inconspicuous as possible, it was wiser to just go quietly.
By the way….
‘Fuck, wise is wise, and I’m kind of annoyed to let it pass?’
When I first saw these guys’ actions, it was absurd.
‘What the hell are these guys doing?’
[This is because the position of the hero is that of beings with that much power.]
I tried to understand these guys’ behavior by the standards of where I lived.
That was the problem.
Among the so-called heroes, especially those living in the church, the psychology was completely different from what I thought of ordinary people.
He fights to the death in a place where he comes and goes, and in return, he gets the title of hero.
On top of that, if you have a good affiliation, no matter what happens, you will be able to cover it.
In particular, he explained that the church is an organization with so much power that it can control the media immediately if something happens.
‘But I think they confuse mighty and reckless?’
[It seems that even if there are so many problems, they are working without any problems.]
The purpose of these guys was not the respect of the cadets.
I was just trying to make the cadets realize how important strength was by showing them the difference between me and them.
‘Fuck… Do you even think about how bad I would kill you if I did that….’
Besides, looking at these guys, Yoon Ji-ah didn’t seem to care too much.
Me and yoongi… Furthermore, even if the cadets died, it was enough to hide the fact and bury them.
It was important to let them know that they brought only the cadets they led without a single scratch.
The process was to be hidden behind the shadows, and only the results were to be exposed in brilliant light.
Once I figured out the situation.
The problem was:
‘As soon as I meet these guys, I think they’ll blow up their gimmick again and make it difficult….’
Obviously, if the two groups joined in their current state, they might feel dissatisfied and use the gimmick again.
Right now, even the combination was good, but if only Jiah Yoon and the cadets were separated, we could be in a very dangerous situation.
‘Armonia.’
[Yes.]
‘Please boost the temperament of the two.’
***
“Yes…. Whoa!”
The male cadet looked at him blankly with his eyelids raised, then widened his eyes as if starting a game and looked around him.
Three tents, a lantern illuminating the surroundings, and a female cadet leaning on her shoulder.
She took a deep breath as she checked them all and was relieved.
“Whew…. Thank god.”
The cadet, who confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her short nap, stretched her head with a depressed expression.
And so she turned her stretched head slightly to her side and looked at her cadet.
“… Is he sleeping too?”
At first she was bewildered by her cadet sleeping on her shoulder, but as she slowly calmed down, she began to think it wasn’t all that bad.
The male cadet muttered to himself without waking him up in that state.
“Why are cadets banned from dating….”
It was the moment when I muttered that and looked back at the front.
“… Yes?”
I couldn’t see anything in particular, but I started hearing screams in my ears.
Kkeek….
The male cadet, realizing the identity of the sound that reached his eardrums, hardened his expression and continued by hitting the female cadet right next to him on the head with his shoulder.
Fuck!
“Ouch! What, what!?”
“Everybody wake up! An enemy!”
“Me, the enemy!?”
In the darkness that had been blurry with the cadet’s cry, I began to see the monsters becoming more and more clear.
..
..
Kwajik!
“Keeek….”
The insect-type monster whose torso was separated faced death with a short agony.
Park Yeon-hee started to grumble with the death of the monster.
“Ha… When you’re sleeping….”
“Okay….”
“It’s okay?”
Park Hee-yeon went to Oh Jin-ho and asked how she was doing.
Oh Jin-ho showed a very tired appearance compared to Park Hee-yeon and the other cadets.
“Yes… It’s okay….”
“It doesn’t look good at all….”
Park Hee-yeon laughed and patted Oh Jin-ho on the shoulder.
‘I can’t seem to fix my weak sleep for the rest of my life.’
Thinking so, Park Hee-yeon looked around her.
Unlike before, the cadets also participated in the battle because it was an unexpected situation.
‘Ac… I’m really out of luck on this field trip.’
Park Hee-yeon grumbled like that, but she smiled on the outside and said to the cadets:
“Good work.”
“… You worked hard.”
“Well, isn’t this kind of experience?”
The cadets responded to Park Hee-yeon with bitter laughter, and everyone began to organize the bodies.
It was the moment Park Hee-yeon was about to give instructions to the students.
“Now, everyone, put the body over there… For a moment….”
“… ?”
At Park Hee-yeon’s words, everyone remained silent and did not move.
Oh Jin-ho also reacted to her words and looked up at her.
“What’s the matter?”
“Everyone… Get your weapon….”
At Park Hee-yeon’s words, her cadets slowly followed her line of sight as she gazed at her into the darkness.
Looking into the darkness, Heeyeon Park muttered in a low voice.
“You… Who are you?”
“….”
In the dark space, a figure wearing a cape stood upright like a reaper holding a sword.
